I am nowhere near ready to have a child or anywhere near having a child, but once I do there are many lessons I want to teach my future daughter. I want her to be strong willed, independent, doesn't settle for anything less than she deserves, and someone that she loves. I want my future daughter to love herself more than she will ever love any boy, more than any boy will ever love her, self love is so important and I want to stress that to her.

My future daughter will be strong willed, she will be determined to do what she wants even though other people will go against her and doubt her. I want her to be herself, someone that will stand up for herself in a time of need. I want her to know that she can be anything that she wants to be as long as she puts her mind to it. Once she puts her mind to it, she will get it done whether everyone says she can't or not.

I want her to be independent, she shouldn't have to depend on some stupid boy to tell her she's great but, rather herself. I want her to do things for herself and do things by herself sometimes, discover the world, see the bigger picture. I want my future daughter to be able to be the person she needs when she wants to be picked back up, of course I will always be there to help her but, I want her to not depend on a ton of people more than she has to.

My future daughter should not settle for anything less than she deserves. She should not settle for the crappy boy who ignores her and hurts her, she should not settle for crappy food or movies. She should find what she deserves and pursue it rather than take what's less. I don't want her to take what's less, but rather wait for what is more and run with it.

I want her to love herself and see beyond all her beauty that she will have and realize that she will be much more than just some girl. I want her to dance around in her room laughing in the mirror and be happy with herself, not crying herself to sleep each night. I will be there for her when she does that, but I want her to know that she is loved and will always be.

Lastly, I want my future daughter to know that I will always love her and help her back on her feet in a time of need. I want her to know that she will make mistakes and she will learn her lesson the hard way sometimes. I want her to know that her mistakes will not make me love her any less but, rather make me help her out more. I want my future daughter to be anything she wants, but I really want her to be happy. She will be loved by many for her whole life and I never want her to have to worry about that.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
